A day to remember the wife and I fished Crowder area thursday. Started 9am till 12 noon I was up front trying to spider rig with long poles & 6 hooks in water w/ minnows and or jigs. NO FISH. my wife in the back had 3 nice fish casting black/chart. jigs 1/16 oz jigs to the bank and real real slow. At this time there were 14 boats w/ maybe 30 fishermen only saw 4 fish landed only 1 good size.
We left the crowd and went to a north bank with some good looking rock, water temp 62 deg. For us we had a great time, fished for 2 hrs. ice chest full, stringer over loaded w/ large crappie. Cleaned 29 fish, 5 were males all but one was caught on black/char. We were setting over 15' water casting to shore and slow reeling.
Not bad for two 75 year old, never had it so good.
